Okay. That answers the high price factor. But, the date change can be done ONLY by the agent who issued the ticket? Not even the airline?

This is a story I heard from a friend (not a made up story). She had bought the ticket & the required visa (tourist) to Dubai from a travel agent. Once in Dubai, after a month or so she had wanted to change the return date to an earlier date. Tried the airline website, unsuccessful - requested her to contact the agent. Called the airline head office, and they too said that they cannot do anything as it was purchased through an agent, and to contact the agent that she had bought the ticket from. Finally, when the agent was contacted, they had quoted more than 50% of the cost she had already paid! Is this normal?

Of course, every joke has a better version than the one posted

Well done. You got the award. Congratulations!

A group of Royal Marines were out a yomp when they saw a girl about to jump off the Tamar Bridge. So they stopped to see if they could help rescue her. George, their leader, a big burly man of 33, stops with his buddies, walks through a group of gawkers, past the Policeman who was trying to talk her down off the railing, and says, "Hey Baby...whatcha doin' up there on that railin'?" She says tearfully, "I'm going to commit suicide!!" While he didn't want to appear "sensitive," George also didn't want to miss this "be-a-legend" opportunity either so he asked ..."Well, before you jump, Honey-Babe...why don't you give ole George here your best last kiss?" So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing and did just that ... and it was a long, deep, lingering kiss followed immediately by another even better one. After they breathlessly finished, George gets a big thumbs-up approval from his marine buddies, the onlookers, and even the Policeman, and then says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had, Honey! That's a real talent you're wasting, darling. You could be famous if you came on a date with me. "So why are you committing suicide?" "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."

Ones got to be blind, or absolutely minus the grey matter, not to spot that! How many people here can accept REALITY as it is with an open and unbiased mind? We drape ourself with the superiority cloak and croak without any substance.

I guess this decision would be taken only by a handful of AN members who have nothing good to say about Thailand while still living there. Such negativity is only found here at AN and before on TV. I guess been a member here we get some sort of a 'privileged' status - where we are way above the Thai people and anything to do with Thailand?

Yes, sometimes the truth hits one very hard...especially if one does not like to accept it!
